Samuel And Harold Discuss Ovid's Dictum

S You look much the same, Harry H You don’t look much different, Sam S Though times change H They don’t stay the same S Or perhaps they seem to change H Or seem to be different S And we change too H We’re not quite the same S Though perhaps they only seem to change because we’ve changed H Perhaps we’re different and they only seem to change S On the other hand, perhaps times do change and we only seem to change H Perhaps we only seem to change because times do change S Or perhaps both change H Perhaps neither stay the same S That would make it difficult to tell H It wouldn’t be easy S Perhaps you’ve changed and I don’t notice it H Or perhaps I’ve changed and you don’t notice it S I feel mostly the same, though H I don’t feel much different S Though in some ways I feel different H I don’t feel quite the same myself S Life moves on H It doesn’t stay the same S Though I’d know you anywhere H I can’t imagine not knowing you. Anywhere. S Our plays change, but the dialogue…don’t you think? H They are different, but the dialogue…as you say.. S Alive or dead… the play doesn’t change… H Dead or alive…the play stays much the same, , , S Though the dialogue… H Ah yes, the dialogue… S Yours, for instance… H Or indeed, yours… S That dictum of Ovid… H Ah yes, Ovid’s dictum... S So true… H Not untrue… S Plus ca change... as they say, Harry... H... plus ca la meme chose, as they say, Sam... (Curtain) For Jerry.
